...Pierson Dixon tossed in a phrase from a Russian Foreign Ministry Office pronouncement of last April expressing hope for a peaceful settlement "on a mutually acceptable basis." Obviously it was a line the Soviets thought well of, for the same words found their way into the Anglo-Russian communiqué put out after the London visit...
Last week Jordan got itself a new Premier and new army commander. The Premier was Said el Mufti, who resigned last December in protest against British attempts to take Jordan into the Baghdad Pact. Now he cried for a revision of the Anglo-Jordanian treaty, which provides Jordan with a $25 million-a-year British subsidy, more than half the country's total revenue. (The British, realizing that subsidy is an ugly word for a proud young nation, would probably agree to pay the same amount for the right to maintain bases and a tank regiment in strategic Aqaba...
...America, college life is one of exemplary ease. I liked Harvard for its naive display of an idealized Anglo-Saxon world, engendered by the memories of emigres, for the dazzling colors in the humid warmth--halls, monuments and lawns arising from a deluge in which European civilization would have perished.

Far more significant, too, there is the wail of Jim Eastland to his Deep South colleagues that, unless integration in the border states is stopped, it will inevitably spread to his center of Anglo-Saxon purity. But this period, with its trials, disappointments, and its bitterness, has also served to remind people of what Southern liberals have often said--in a sometimes weak and strained voice: that the issue must be handled with a delicacy almost new to American social and political progress...
...sedately styled cover of the first issue is a red-and-black lyrebird drawn by Mobilist Alexander Calder as a symbol of the editor's feeling that "the lyrical spirit is badly needed in poetry today." Between the covers appear works by an honor guard of Anglo-American poets, among them Robert Graves, Roy Campbell, W. H. Auden, Marianne Moore, E. E. Cummings. The spur behind the would-be poetic renaissance is an unusual editor-poet and long-time friend of poets and poetry, Thurairajah Tambimuttu...
